Replaced 12V battery 2017. EV only range down to 16 miles highway, 21 miles town. Combined Hybrid mileage about 43mpg. Are the tires noisy?

For the first 2k miles, my opinion is that they have slightly higher road noise (white noise) than the OEM Energy Savers Michelin but they are much quieter (and a bit smoother) at same inflation pressure when running on road imperfections (bumps, potholes, reflective pads).

Paul MPG did not improve with the new tires, I think it is about 0 to -2 MPG on the first 2k miles, so I would not recommend them if mileage is your ultimate goal. I have to say I got the tires based on lower price (50 less per tire), much better snow traction than the OEMs (confirmed based on my trips to the Mountains), long thread warranty, good overall ratings from tirerack.com.

ptjones Posted February 10, 2020 Report Share Posted February 10, 2020 I'll stick with Michelin ES, paid under $800 from my FORD Dealer, got $50 visa gift card and last set lasted +85k miles. Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OPhoenix Posted May 5, 2023 Report Share Posted May 5, 2023 I have a 2013 C-max that I bought new. It crossed 300,000 miles just 6 days short of its 10th birthday (the day I bought it). I have not had any issues with the High Voltage Battery. Fearing the imminent collapse of the big battery is my main source of stress due to the miles on this car. I should also point out that My engine was replaced due to hitting a chunk of concrete in the road that did no body damage but went underneath and cracked the engine block at 180,000 miles. My insurance would only pay for a used engine with similar miles, but my dealer could only find an engine with 40,000 miles on it. So although my High Voltage Battery has 300,000+ miles, the engine Only has 160,000. I hope to get 400,000 miles out of this car, but I will be happy if it makes it to 350,000. I should also mention that I live in Michigan, but lived in Colorado for 4 years with this car. So, it has always been in a cold climate, and has been garaged I would estimate 97% of its life. I think the moderating conditions a garage provides has helped preserve Big Battery and also the fact that it gets driven every day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve only got 75k on my 2016 SEL Hybrid. Only issue is the backup Camera started flaking out, need to get that fixed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JLC Posted August 6, 2023 Report Share Posted August 6, 2023 Purchased new in Sept 2014 C-Max Hybrid SE. 122000 miles, 75% city, 25% highway. Had the RH lower control arm replaced under warranty at 20000 miles. No other major problems. All routine maintenance done by self. Drained and refilled transmission fluid at 90000 miles. Fluid looked good and no metal shavings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My daughter has my old 2013 SEL with 80k , and no repairs so far. My son has 2016 Energi with 85k and no repairs so far. Doesn't go as far on battery only though.

Lacienega Posted November 4 Report Share Posted November 4 The transmission fluid actually looked like new but I believe it was a little bit low because I've added like 1/2 Liter more than I've drained grege 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without any leaks, I'm expecting to add more than is removed due to "heat evaporation" from use (although I remember older transmissions having some venting option that cause some minimal loss).
